TL;DR

  • Google is working on a feature to show Gemini users their quota usage percentage and when it resets.
  • The metrics will likely be placed near the account switcher to help power users avoid sudden service lockouts due to overuse.
  • Lighter icons for like, dislike, and copy buttons have been spotted, aligning with YouTube’s visual style.

New Usage‑Limit Dashboard

Google is adding a usage‑limit dashboard to Gemini that will surface key metrics such as:

  • Percentage of your quota used
  • Time when the quota resets
  • Last update timestamp

These details are expected to appear near the account switcher, giving heavy users a clear view of their daily consumption and helping them avoid unexpected lockouts.

Code Snippet from Google App v17.18.22

%1$d%% used
Resets at %1$s
Resets %1$s at %2$s
Updated %1$d min ago

The presence of these strings suggests that the usage‑limit UI is being prepared for an upcoming release.

Updated Icon Set

The same app version also introduces new, lighter icons for the like, dislike, and copy actions. These icons resemble those already used in YouTube and YouTube Music, contributing to a more cohesive Google design language. Earlier icon updates were covered in our previous article.

Disclaimer

⚠️ An APK teardown can reveal work‑in‑progress code that hints at future features, but there’s no guarantee that these features will reach a public release.
